Lyrics

[Intro]
And you, huh?
You do, huh?
[Instrumental]
We let it in
We give it out
And in the end
What's it all about?
It must be love
[Instrumental]
I give you my
I give you my
[Instrumental]
You give me your
You give me your joy
[Instrumental]
We used to say
"Ah, Hell, we're young"
[Instrumental]
But now we see that life is sad
And so is love
[PostChorus]
Ooh, baby, live your life for love
Ooh, baby, live your life for love
[Instrumental]
We used to say
"Ah, Hell, we're young"
But now we see that life is sad
And so is love
[PostChorus]
Ooh, baby, for the sake of love
Ooh, baby, for the sake of love
[Instrumental]
And whatever happens
What really matters?
It's all we've got
Isn't that enough?
[Instrumental]
Life is sad and so is love
[Verse 1]
You let it slip
You let it slip
[Refrain]
Life is sad and so is love
[Verse 2]
I love you more
I love you more for it
[Refrain]
Life is sad and so is love
[Instrumental]
Life is sad and so is love (All for love)
Life is sad and so is love (Just for the sake of love)
Life is sad and so is love (You set me free, I set you free)
Life is sad and so is love
